HUMAN-ELEPHANT CONFLICT MITIGATION IN KAZIRANGA

TCF has distributed 29 rechargeable torch lights and constructed as many tongis or watchtowers for the residents of villages Dumjan, Bezgaon, Tinsukee, Sildubi (Geleki) to help mitigate the the prevailing human-elephant conflict in this area.Destruction of standing crops by wild elephants and the potential danger to human life when elephants and villagers cross paths gives rise to conflict. Such mitigation measures contribute effectively to community-based strategies to conserve the Asian elephant and its habitat and foster peaceful co-existence with local communities.
